1915 Ford Model T Cars at the Highland Park Plant

Summary

Rows of Model T automobiles sit at Ford Motor Company's Highland Park plant in this photo, taken circa 1915. The cars are among the last of the early style Ts with straight, flat fenders and cherry wood dashboards. Steel cowls, in place of the wooden firewalls, and curved fenders will soon bring a "styling update" to Ford's bestselling car.
